Expansion and contraction loosens fixings on Westlake Village roof coverings long ahead of the material itself gives out. Thermal cycling does the damage in Westlake Village — hot afternoons, cool nights, and materials expanding and contracting against their fixings all year. Low-slope sections in Westlake Village hold heat worst, which is why coatings and reflective membranes pay for themselves here. Ventura County is no different.
Older Westlake Village buildings frequently sit on their second or third covering, and the layer count is what decides it more than the age when planning the next one. In practice, garage and patio roof coverings in Westlake Village are frequently lower slope than the house and need an entirely different system. Many Westlake Village properties carry a covering chosen for price rather than climate, and it shows in how early it fails.
